The Milwaukee Bucks has had another stellar run this past NBA season, managing to force a Game 7 versus the Boston Celtics before eventually losing. One can argue that it’s but the homecourt advantage of the Celtics that led to the Bucks’ failure to reach the second round.

However, the East is going to get more competitive by next season as Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward return from injury. It could even signal the shift of power to the Celtics from the Cavs (who are themselves almost guaranteed to lose LeBron James in the offseason). If this fledgling Boston squad can get to the Conference Finals, what more next season?
Milwaukee needs to find more ways to channel its offense. Over-relying on Giannis Antetokounmpo has made its offense very predictable. If the team just maintains the status quo of having aging Jason Terry and Matthew Dellavedova in the backcourt, it stands to again lose ground as competing teams get better.

The Bucks should likewise find a way to have somebody else aside from Eric Bledsoe man the offense. Malcolm Brogdon must get much better in playmaking. Also, and most importantly, the team should look for any workable trade that would bring another superstar to the team, preferably a solid shooting guard or forward. The Bucks may begin with entertaining suitors for Jabari Parker.
